We've only got 2 week left in Columbia, MO before heading to FL for the winter. For the past 2 weeks temps here have been mid 50 days and upper 30 nights with 1 or 2 upper 20s nights. We've been using the fireplace and a small space heater to help the main furnace with the thermostat set on 72°.

Even with the supplemental heaters propane usage seems very high. We've been through 2 30lb tanks in 2 weeks. Other forums seem to agree this is fairly normal but out last RV didn't take that much.

I did a quick visual inspection of the furnace by removing the intake grate on the steps and the ducts looked fine. I may try and remove the bulkhead in the front storage bay to get a better look. Before I start taking stuff apart (much to my wife's dismay) and go crawling around under there I was hoping for some feedback.

Can't wait to get to FL and back to 70° days!
